Animal, Biosafety, and Isotope Research Protection Program

The ABI Program facilitates the activities of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), and the University Isotope Committee (UIC) at all campus locations except the College of Medicine.

These programs serve Penn State faculty, staff, and students by
facilitating research committee reviews and approvals of regulated
experiments and teaching activities conducted at or under the auspices
of Penn State that involve vertebrate animals, regulated biohazardous
materials, and/or radioactive materials. Program staff members serve
Penn State faculty, staff, and students by helping them to ensure their
research and teaching programs comply with all applicable federal,
state, and local regulations and policies, as well as Penn State
University policies. Program staff are available to answer individual
inquiries, to meet with researchers and instructors, and to present
educational workshops and trainings.
